a = ['hello','chicken','world']
import random
a = random(a)
print (a) #trying to print them in random order.
how would I print them in random order? It gives me a error: "Type Error: 'module' object is not callable". Also would it be possible to print a word from the list and then ask the user what comes next? and check if the user got it right and continue through the whole list.
it's because your calling random which is a module and not a method. You probably want
to call random.choice see random.choice
Use random.shuffle() to shuffle your list in place. For example
>>> a = ['hello','chicken','world']
>>> import random
>>> a
['hello', 'chicken', 'world']
>>> random.shuffle(a)
>>> a
['chicken', 'world', 'hello']
>>> random.shuffle(a)
>>> a
['hello', 'world', 'chicken']
random.shuffle(a)? Note it shuffles in place, so you don't need to have a = random.shuffle(a) or anything like that.import random
a = ['hello','chicken','world']
random.shuffle(a)
print "first element is %s" %a[0]
for i in a[1:]:
guess = str(raw_input("Guess next item:")).strip()
if guess == i:
print "Correct"
else:
print "Wrong it was: %s" %i
